tuesday giveaway!

There is a talented designer in Melbourne called Emily Wright (read her Daily Imprint interview here) who comes from a fine arts background but is now a textile designer for her label Nancybird, which had its genesis in 2001. Most of her wares are handprinted in Melbourne and she sources custom-made leathers in Italy. There is a distinct Australian influence in Emily's work, such as the bag she's offering Daily Imprint readers the chance to win. It features a native Australian daisy print.

For your chance to win, visit the Nancybird website and leave a comment below. A winner will be selected at random after comments close at midnight on Monday 12 December. Don't forget to check back to see if you are the winner. (If the winner does not respond within two weeks of being notified, the prize will be redrawn.)

Would love love love to win this bag! Have been lusting over a Nancy Bird bag for yearrrrsssss but it's always just outside my reach and wishing for a clever person to gift me one has been unsuccessful so far.

I recently fell in love with Nancybird after seeing a wallet on a local garage sale site. Why anyone would want to sell is beyond me, but I am most grateful they did! I love the feel and have hence stopped using a handbag so I can carry it! :-)

ah...my first nancy bird bag was the classic tan and cream postie bag...just like her owner, nancy loves to travel, she has hiked volcanoes in central america, sipped on mojitos in Cuba and indulged in a turkish treatment at the bizzare, throughout her adventures she has meet many great friends who have fallen in love with her style....

This bag is just what I need - red is my fave colour and my nancybird bag is so well loved and over-used that the lining is worn out - could never ask for a better bag than a nancybird - it would "make my day"

I was lucky enough to get a Nancybird wallet last year and I absolutely love it. So beautifully made and such soft leather. It is wonderful to have a local designer to support who makes such gorgeous and quality items. Now to save for a bag to match :)

I have admired Emily's work and designs for a very long time, beautiful, beautiful bags that are contemporary yet timeless all in one, and ever so practical! It would be a dream to one day have the oportunity to work with her in contributing some illustrations or artwork for her beautiful bag designs xxx

Gorgeous bag! Thank you for the chance to win. I enjoyed checking out the nancybird website and blog too, especially the wonderful store window display in Tasmania. (I feel like someone from the other hemisphere can't get away with calling it Tassie!)

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Nancybird designs, and when I'm wearing, people always comment, so I send to the website; Emily is such a talented artisan and should be commended in some way for her brilliance in original design! I love seeing what each new range brings x

ODE TO FANCY NANCY.....Nancybird, oh how I love thee, I have professed my love for you before, but you sit there with your soft luscious leather, only to ignore.I have adored you fabrics and blown you kisses from afar, Only to be told by the shop owner,'get off my front window, your bizarre!'I have tried to win you multiple times, But geeh, even I'm sick of my tragic rhymes! X x x

Oh Nancybird, how I lust after your sensual leather and stunning prints... your website is like porn to me, I look at it wistfully so often. I would be priveleged to carry such a stunning bag with me to my new job in January. Oh how I HOPE I win this beautiful NB bag! xoxo

This bag would be the perfect antidote to my grumpy grumpy mood of the last week after having my house robbed! The gorgeous red design would help put a summer skip back in my step, which I am working on reviving! X

What a perfect weekender and everyday uni bag! I also have my eye on the nougat backpack, yum! Emily please keep creating these gems, at least until I finish uni and can afford to buy the Marlon bag in every colour!

Great gallery of bags and scarfs. I only discovered the wonder of scarfs this year and now they are my must have accessory (and so affordable too). A NancyBird bag would be great for fitting all my lesson plans and stuff for teaching. So, onto the Xmas wish list - but will check out supplier in Ashburton very soon.

Wow the big Red Westie, I have had my eye on this beauty for some time now and was hoping to place it on my Xmas wish list, but to win it would be even more special. Fingers crossed I hope Santa is nice! I love Nancy Bird products, always full of surprises.....

It is just so beautiful... and red is the only colour handbag I don't have yet... I already have a lovely Nancybird wallet (the brown one with the boats on it) and handbag (the grey-brown one with the flower motifs), and a friend gave me a sweet little yellow coinpurse - a red handbag would fit in so well into my Nancybird family... wishing... and hoping...

Love love love nancybird!! I love their bags, the clutches, the purses. And the fabric: as a fabric hoarder from way back (what can I say it's genetic!!) I'm so excited to get my hands on some of their meterage!!

Adorable!!!!!!!! I would loooooove love looooove to use this bag for work! Colour totally matches CFA (Country Fire Authority) uniform and would go so well travelling across Victoria for my council meetings. I love Nancybird for the genuine leather quality and artistic design and fabrics. I love the practicality (soft leather, soft edges) and versatility with any clothes. Would LOVE to bring the art, design and fashion into CFA everyday wear! And I love working for CFA!!! I have been there four years and love how we get to serve the community!!! :-)

To die for! Spotted a Nancybird bag some years ago and have been saving for one ever since! Nancybird bags are practical, stylish and so beautifully made using quality materials.Am thinking I could even fit nappies and wipes in there when I take my 3 young children out and about. Would love this bag so much!

Oh my, you know that feeling you get when all of a sudden you stumble across something new and you fall instantly on love. Yep, just had that moment!! Now how do I work this into my Xmas wish list..........
